If the transmission is broken, you should not continue driving. The function of the transmission is to change the speed of the vehicle and the torque on the driving wheels, as well as to enable reverse driving. The transmission is equipped with input and output shaft sensors, which are primarily responsible for gear shifting. If the transmission malfunctions, it will affect the normal shifting process. Continuing to drive with a faulty transmission may result in the gears slipping into neutral, sudden jamming, or the locking of the driving wheels, leading to accidents and severe damage. Inside the transmission, there are gears and bearing components in motion. Even a small damaged part can trigger a serious chain reaction, potentially causing the entire transmission to fail or even break the transmission housing.

Will I Get Penalty Points for Exceeding the 80 km/h Speed Limit in Rainy Weather?

Exceeding the 80 km/h speed limit in rainy weather will result in penalty points. Below are relevant precautions for driving in the rain: 1. Maintain good visibility: Turn on the windshield wipers, low beams, fog lights, and marker lights promptly. Pay attention to pedestrians, as their vision and hearing are limited in the rain. Drivers should slow down and patiently yield. 2. Drive cautiously at reduced speeds: The braking distance on muddy or wet roads can be up to three times that on normal roads. Therefore, regardless of road conditions, speed should be controlled within 40~60 km/h. On unfamiliar roads, follow the path taken by the vehicle ahead. 3. Maintain a safe distance: Continuously monitor the distance from vehicles in front and behind, increasing the safety gap. Stay away from large vehicles, as they can block your view. Puddles that large vehicles can pass through may not be navigable for smaller cars, and large vehicles are prone to splashing water, which can interfere with smaller vehicles' driving.

How to Adjust Steering When Right Reverse Parking is Less Than 30 cm

When right reverse parking is less than 30 cm, promptly shorten the steering wheel turn and wait until the corner of the parking space is no longer visible, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Related introductions about reversing are as follows: 1. Ask someone to help guide when reversing: During reversing, the right rear of the car is a blind spot, the area farthest from the driver, and sometimes difficult to observe. If someone is present, ask for their assistance in guiding. 2. Observe the terrain before reversing: Pay attention to whether the front bumper of your vehicle might collide with vehicles on either side, and also check for any obstacles nearby. If there are obstacles on both sides, try to keep the car body close to the left when reversing left, and close to the right when reversing right. 3. Be realistic about turning in the garage: When navigating right-angle turns and sharp bends in an underground garage, always be realistic about your capabilities. If unsure whether there is enough space to turn, get out and observe.

What is the difference between gasoline and diesel engine oil?

Gasoline and diesel engine oil differences: 1. Different API grades: S-prefixed oils are specifically for gasoline engines, such as SA, SB, SC, SM, SN, etc.; C-prefixed oils are specifically for diesel engines, such as CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, etc. 2. Different applicability: Gasoline engine oil can only be used in gasoline engines; diesel engine oil can be used in both diesel and gasoline engines. Although both gasoline and diesel engines operate under high temperature, high pressure, high speed, and high load conditions, there are significant differences between them. During operation, the compression ratio of a diesel engine is twice that of a gasoline engine, or even more. The main components of a diesel engine endure much greater impact from high temperature and high pressure compared to a gasoline engine.

What does 'No available test site' mean?

'No available test site' means all current test slots are fully booked. If the Traffic Management 12123 app shows 'no test site information available' when making a reservation, try refreshing the page several times with your phone to see if it returns to normal. If it still shows no test site, you can try making a new reservation a few days later or ask your driving school instructor for assistance. Here are some reasons why 'no available test site' might be displayed: Fully booked: The recently opened test slots are full, and new test times have not been released yet. In this case, you cannot make a reservation. It's best to go to your driving school to make a reservation because test slots are limited and usually allocated to driving schools first. Another reason could be that test slots have not been released yet, so you can inquire with your driving school. System upgrade: The system might be undergoing maintenance or an upgrade, so wait for some time before checking again. Generally, there are no test sites available during weekends because the examiners also rest on national holidays. In this case, you can only check again after a couple of days to see if new test slots have been updated. Solutions for not being able to make a test reservation: You can try clicking 'Test Reservation' on the Traffic Management 12123 app around midnight (00:00~1:00) every day. If the app prompts 'System maintenance, operation not available,' you can try making a reservation at another time. Some students might fail to apply successfully during the process and receive a message like 'No training record detected.' This is mainly because the required training hours have not been completed. In this case, contact your driving school or instructor for assistance. If you registered through a driving school, it's possible that the school has not yet logged your information on the vehicle management office's website. If the vehicle management office has not finished reviewing your file, you won't be able to make a reservation normally. You'll need to wait patiently for a few more days. For canceling a test reservation: If you apply to cancel before the reservation deadline, your request will be processed directly (only once). If you apply after the deadline, you must visit the city vehicle management office's service hall in person to cancel the test.

How to Deal with Fog on the Car's Windshield?

Methods to eliminate fog on the car's windshield: 1. If it's warm outside, turn down the air conditioning. In summer, if there is fog on the windows, also reduce the air conditioning to better match the interior air temperature with the outside temperature; 2. You can also open the windows slightly to allow more outside air in, which can prevent the car from becoming too stuffy; 3. Turn on the windshield wipers. If the fog is on the outside of the windshield, you can use the wipers to clear it; 4. Change the air source. Most cars have buttons to either recirculate the air inside the car or draw in fresh air from outside; 5. Use silica cat litter. Fill a sock with silica cat litter, tie the end with a string, and place one or two socks on the dashboard. This will absorb moisture inside the car and prevent fog buildup.
